In the accompanying drawing :+Figure 1 is an edge elevation of the window frame with parts in section and parts removed. Fig. 2

1s a vertical sectional view of a portion of the trame. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a ulley block used in connection with the ba ance,

' and Fig. 4 is a plan view of the blank formi-ng the body of the said block.

'the sash weight. journaled in the upper side portions of the frame 1 and the up er and lower sashes `4 are slidably mounted 1n the frame in the usual \manner.

used at each side of the sashes and one end of t each cord is attached to the lower sash,`while The Window lframe 1 is rovided at its sides with the usual spaces 2 or the reception of The usual pulleys 3 are A single continuous sash cord 5 is the other end is attached to the u per sash.

The said block 6 consists of'a4 band 8 which asses diametricall around the 'pulley 7 an serves as a shiel to keep the said pulley 'from coming in contact .with the sides ofthe window frame and also as'a guard to prevent the sash cord 5 from running .off of the said pulle The loop 9 depends from the band 8 an passes transversely under the vpulley 7.' The said loop 9 isdisposed at a right angle to the longltudinal axis of the band 8 and is in alinement with the radius of the pulley 7.

the hook 10. Said ton e may swing on its plvot in a lane paralle to the plane of the pulley 7. he receptacle 12 is provided at, lts upper end'with a pivoted bail 13 which is adapted to engage the hook 10 and is held in permanent engagement therewith bythe tongue 11` when' the said tongue is in engagement with the end of the hook 10. The said receptacle 12 is adapted to receive the weight sections 14 which may be of metal, or instead of such sections, san or other material, ossessing suiicient avoirdupois to counter alance the sash may be employed. The idea of such an arrangement kis that so Amuch weight only as is necessary to counterbalance the sash is placed in the receptacle. The receptacleis preferably rectangular in horizontal section in order that it ma smoothly o erate against the sides of the ame 1 inc osing the s ace 2.

From the oregoing description 'it is obvi- 'ous that the construction of the window frame and sash and the arrangement of the v employed in such construction, while the d` ference in construction over those in vogue residesin the arrangement of the sash-cord, the construction of the pulley-block and the weight. The part-s are assembled in the win- -dow frame in the `usual manner. With this arrangement either the up er or the lower sash maybe moved' in the rame at will and will remain at any position in the frame to which they are moved.

' The u per sash is provided with a socket 15 in w ich is pivoted a catch 16. The spring'17 bears against said catch and is adapted to hold the catch end thereof normal y toward one sideA of the sash.
